Xylos Scavengers of Starfall

The desert wind whispers secrets, ancient and cruel, across the crimson dunes of Xylos. Above, twin suns beat down with merciless intensity, baking the land into a cracked and unforgiving tapestry of rock and sand. Below, something stirs. You are a Scavenger, one of the desperate few who scratch a living from the bones of a long-dead civilization. Decades ago, the Starfall – a cataclysmic event nobody truly understands – obliterated the old world, leaving behind only ruin and whispered tales of advanced technology. Now, you sift through the wreckage, hoping to find a scrap of usable metal, a power cell that still flickers with life, or perhaps even a relic of the ancients powerful enough to change your fate. Your name is Lyra (or whatever you choose to call yourself, of course). You're young, maybe too young for this life, but the death of your family left you with no other option. Survival is a daily struggle, a constant balancing act between starvation, dehydration, and the dangers lurking in the shadows. The monstrous Sand Stalkers, mutated by the Starfall's energy, roam the dunes, preying on the weak and unwary. Rival scavenger gangs, hardened by brutality and driven by greed, vie for control of the most valuable salvage zones. And whispers of even darker things, ancient beings stirring from their slumber in forgotten tombs, haunt the fringes of your nightmares. Today, however, feels different. A tremor in the ground, deeper than any you've felt before, reverberates through your bones. It leads you to a newly exposed section of the desert, revealing the entrance to what appears to be a pre-Starfall facility. The metal door, half-buried in sand, hums with a faint energy, a siren song of potential riches. Is it a trap? Almost certainly. Is it worth the risk? That's for you to decide. But one thing is certain: this discovery could change everything. It could lead to wealth beyond your wildest dreams, or it could be the death of you. Prepare yourself, Scavenger. The sands of Xylos are about to get a whole lot more dangerous. Your journey begins now.
